A NEWSBoY'S NERVE.
Clinging to Rope of an Escaped Bal
loon for Fifty Miles.
From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
A recent trip of scientific party in bal
loon recalls to memory the thrilling adj
venture of a San Francisco newsboy who
took an involuntary excursion in a balloon
from Oakland to Suisun Plains Like that
of the scientific party the ascension was un-
heralded. But it was alike the town talk
and the excitement of the hour.
Balloon ascensions were of rare occur
renee, and the announcement that large
balloon was to go up from a garden in Oak
land was sufficient to fill three steamer loads
of excursionists from San Francisco. 1t
was an exceptionally pleasant Sunday after
noon in August, and Mr.. Kelly was to act
as the aeronaut Numerous small balloons
had as usual been provided to test the cur
rent of air, and to indicate the probable
direction the balloon would take upon being
set free. The balloon itself was a fine, large
one, constructed of silk, with the usual bas-
ket attached for carrying passengers.
Either Kelly was incompetent the volume
of gas insufficient, or for some other, and to
the crowd unknown, cause the balloon did
not ascend when Kelly seated himself in the
suspended car and gave the signal to cut
the rope that fastened the balloon to the
earth. Instead of going upward it drifted
along the ground for some fifty yards, when
it was again secured and Kelly jumped to
the ground. A lighter man then took his
place, but it would not rise with him either
The car was then detached from the balloon
and a piece of broad scantling attached to it
some four inches in width, resembling a
trapeze bar. The people in the meantime
were jeering the professor in a good-natured
way, and several asked him to give them a
ride, presuming that they would be taken a

Poison in the Puffs.

A Hammonton On. j. dispatch says:

IN AN OPEN BOAT.

The Psrilous Voyage f Three Men In

The 50. igHdc, Democrat says Last
Saturday Henry Ilnln Joseph Ju'ller-
EFT and Joseph Derosha, all Of the
Third ward started in n Mackinaw
boat for Bots Blame island TO get some
flour from the wreck Of The Albany.
Monday small boat returned from
the scene OF the wreck and reported
that their boat and the one containing
the three named above had parted
company early Monday morning about
two miles to the northeast of Mackinac
island. in q snow storm, accom- panied
by a squall. Nothing was heard from
the missing men all that day. and on
Tuesday q tug was sent TO 20 around
Bots Blanc island TO look for them, but
it returned with no news. Wednesday
and Thursday passing with 10 signs Of
them, they were about given mp for
lost. Thursday morning several per-
sons reported seeing light on st.
Martins island about six miles from
mere, and it was suggested that n tug
be sent to see if anything OF the mis-
sing men could be discovered there.
Finally, about 10 o'clock yesterday,
seeing no effort was being made to
send tug, Capt Vallier of the Ga
zelle offered to go out ana did so, cit
liens contributing to pay for the fuel
burned. The three men were found
on st. Martins island and brought
safely home. The story they tell is.
briefly, as follows:
They were about two miles TO the
northeast of Mackinac island when
their boats sails and masts were torn
away by the squall, and they had to
run before the wind All day Tuesday
they were on the lake. tossing to and
fro in the heavy sea. Tuesday night.
having fixed mp one of their sails, they
managed to steer ashore somewhere
near Pine river where they staid that
night. Wednesday morning they again
started out. thinking they could make
this place, but when out in the lake
they found their centreboard would
not work, being frozen up, and soon it
was impossible to do any thing but let
the boat drift where il would. They
were then three miles away from ST.
Martins island; and along about noon
they struck the shore there. and the ice
having stove in their boat. they had to
make for the shore. On this island
there is no one living, and they staid
there nearly two days, liv ne on -four
and a rabbit that Joe Jullcrett man
aged to trap. Wednesday and Thurs
day nights they kindled large fires to
attract the attention of persons living
on Burnt island. about one and half
miles distant aud these fires drew the
attention of people here and were the
cause of the Gazclles 90 ne over.
The.nen ARE not much the worse for
their trip, although they suffered con-
siderably from exposure.

The Pay of the Prussian King.


The emperor's banker, Baron Cohn,
deals with financial private matters.
The empire pays nothing 10 the en-
pcror or TO the expenses OF the imperial
household The reicbstag, indeed,
grants yearly considerable sum,
which amounted in 1873 to 1900, 900
marks; but this is n kind of fund to pay
pensions. etc, first TO the invalids of
the French war who have no claims to
military pensions and who receive ac.
cording TO the imperial order of the
22d of July. 1884 about l, 250, 900 marks.
Other inyaIids aud their families re-
ceiye about as much. The expenses
of representation have considerably in
creased since the proclamation OF the
empire. For this the emperor receives
no indemnity. and he has to paY them
out of his private income. Therefore
his majesty receives nothing rs ompcr-
or.
In order to give AN idea OF the rev
enues of the Prussian kings. we must
refer to the history OF Prussia. Accord
ing 10 the constitutional law OF The
kingdom, ''ihe head of the state is en-
entitled to certain revenues and advan-
iages in order TO fulfill his duties and to
pay his expenses. The amount of
these revenues is not fixed by the law.
which has been frequently altered.
According to an act of 1920 the king
had to pledge his whole private pro-
perry for he national debt. and he re-
ceived 2, 800. 900 thalers, no provisions
being made Tor the other princes.
This income was increased in 1859 Ivy
about 500, 600 thalers and IN 1868 by n
further 10 1900 thalcrs. These annu.
,iies are charged on the revenues of
domains and forests 10 the amount Of
nearly 100000 marks, and the re-
mainder. exceeding 4. 900. 600 marks. Is
voted annually by parliament with
other state expenses; so the revenue
Of the present king of Prussia is about
$4,000. 900 marks. or f6l2,500. 1t is
impossible TO state how much the en-
peror can spend, the value Of his pri-
vate property being unknown; but this
placed income is, il seems. by the
emperor at the disposal OF the royal
pr.nccs. - German TdgcbidH.

Blindness and Memory.

As partial compensation. in the midst
of his many dlsconrag cmenis, thu
sighlless pupil possesses one vital adj
vantage over his companions. HIS
memory. accustomed TO seize
and asimilate definitions and
miscellaneous information nj n
single hearing, acquires both u
marvellous alertness and phenomenal
relentive capacity, which nables him
10 master certain branches Of study
with singular ease and rapidity. De-
prived of books and without any very
ready and reliable method of making
notes. he obtains habit, often envied
by the seeing. OF appropriating instan-
taneously anything addressed to his
intellect through his ! ring. Hence
the proverbially good memory of the
blind person. His mind is his memo
randum book, always AT hand and al
ways open.
TO tho present writer, who never re-
members having lesson read over to
him more than twice, nothing is more
strange and more amusing than room
full of school children, with fingers
crammed in their ears, buzzing over u
lesson of three pages for the fifteenth
time. Equally incomprelensible is 1t
to man making note OF single ad.
dress. or n lady referring TO shopping
list Such observations force one to
the conclusion that the art of writing.
invaluable as il is, has been disastrous
TO the human memory. People have
grown so TO rely on a peice OF white
paper covered with black scratches that
if this be lost or misplaced, they are
reduced almost TO the condition OF
creatures without intellect.
SO marked is the advantage of the
blind in this respect rs almost TO atone
for their extra difficulties in others;
that is. the sightless pupil will acquire
scientific and philosophical studies with
rapidity which will counierbalance
the greater amount OF time demanded
by his less faclle methods of writing
out exercises in linguistic and cipher
ing in mathematical branches; as that
in taking the regular course at academy
or university, lie will require. all in all,
neither more time nor labor than the
average student
OF not less value in after life Is this
extraordinary trained and developed
memory. 1t enables the blind to derive
from lectures, conversation and
general reading ten times the benefit OF
others. on whose mind Il single mem
ton of facts and thoughts makes little
or no impression.
Thus the law OF compensation is
seen working in all things. making
good on one hand approximately. at
least, what is wanting on the other:
not by the special mysterious interfer-
ference of Providence or other power
with natural conditions and processes,
for the benefit of the individual, rs
many claim. but through the inevitable
sequence of cause and effect, by which
sense and faculties become, through
unusual training, abnormally develop
ed and their value radically enhanced.

San Antonio News and Views.

Are policemen paid to protect gam
bling houses which are contrary to
law.
While San Antonio is in need Of
hotels, sanitariums, factories and a
large public hall, she has an over
supply OF of brothels and designation
houses and other seminaries OF vice
and immortality.
immortality is by no means condu-
Give to public welfare, and the boom
ing committee would do well to in
augurate a crusade against public
immortality and vice. 1t is badly
needed.
As gambling houses are contrary
to the statute of Texas, it looks sim
eular to hear it said that Especial po-
liceman was detailed for the gam
bling house of Santiago Villanueva.
Somebody ought to rise and explain
this singular affair, for it needs ex-
PLANTATION.
LAWYERS, land agents and others whose
occupation tax is unpaid, would do well to
settle with the county collector ut once.
The grand jury will be sure to investigate.
Times of the 10th inst.
Oh, yes, walk up and obey the law,
but how about these 200 saloons
that defy the law7 Will the grand
jury investigate them? We will see.
According to the Express the sa-
loon men are willing to close on Sun
day from 9 a. m. to four p. m. tho
the statute requires them to close
the entire day. Why should not the
gamblers claim a right to ply their
vocation from sunset to sunrise
Why should not burglars claim the
right to pilfer between midnight and
day break? Why should not sneak
thieves claim o right to carry on OPP
erations SO many hours day in spite
of the laws? Saloon men have no
special privilege of violating a statute
of the State while all Others are pun
ished for violating them. 1t is sim
ply a question as to whether the SUI
premacy of the law is a fact or a
farce. Good citizens must maintain
the supremacy of the laws. 1t seems
strange to us to see how the Express
can advocate anarchy right here IN
San Antonio and yet howl for the
blood of those seven anarchists who
simply defied the law as the Express
has so often in its columns. Spies
g. Co. defed the law from the plat
form and when the police attempted
to interfere with them they hurled
their deadly bombs into their midst
killing several. And it is for this
they are now condemned and will be
hanged in all probability. We say
in all kindness to the Express please
explain to the public the difference
between your case and the case o.
the Chicago seven. They proposed
to obey such laws as suited them
you propose to dlsobey such laws as
as do not suit you. This is the case
in a nutshell Now what is the diff;
ference between you and them.

Assault on a PrOhibitiOnist.

SUTToN's BAY, Mich, Sept. 90
William A. Taylor, state organizer of
the prohibition party, came here from
Lansing to deliver an address. A
large crowd turned out and while the
people were listening to Mr.. Taylor's
remarks a mob of roughs-saloon
sympathisers - gathered outside.
They hammered drums and pounded
tin pans. Mr.. Taylor ignored them
and continued his talk. When he
had finished, the mob grew bold and
savage, but fearing the audience,
which was larger in numbers than
their band, they waited until most of
the people had gone.
As the speaker and few others,
mostly ladies, were leaving the hall
an attack was made upon them with
clubs. appropriated from a neighbor-
ing fence.
John Cadham. who was the first to
leave the building, was brutality
knocked down. 4 dozen roughs
bounced upon him and during the
melee Mr.. Taylor escaped.
Kill himl Kill him." the ruff
fans shouted. Kill the crank

th.ir grasp. 1t is believed here that
he wonld have been killed If the mob
